Great friends, cool machines, and High English Tea--what could be better? The food has me drooling.

And a fussy towel load to boot. LOL

So nice to see Jack again; it's been a couple of years.

A big Thanks again to Mike, Aldi, Lidl & Kwiksave for the excellent food provided.

It was as you can see from these fots a little riotous at times and great fun

How cool. So glad it's supper time, because the food sure look appetizing. Wish you guys could come to Minneapolis and show us how to do HET.
Maybe someday, or we could come there.

Greetings to the UK contingent from sunny Tucson, Arizona.
Thank you for all the wonderful pictures. I enjoyed them, especially pictures of the Keymatic.

Huge thanks

I think all those happy faces show just how great a time we all had this weekend, thanks especially to Mike for hosting the party once again, thanks for the great food and Al, can't wait for the next afternoon tea.

But also thanks to everyone for being such fun, if laughter is the best medicine, why does it leave us with such withdrawl symptons lol.

Great to see the photos and the videos, looking forward to the next time already.

all the best

Garden fork

Al,
I have to come clean on that idea, when I was a boy, being into anything electrical, I remember our elderly neighbour used to run the extension lead through a fork, to hold up over a flower border whilst using the electric mower. By the way lol, it was a qualcast electric panther, and thinking about it they had a hoovermatic as well, could they have been an early influence lol ?

That Keymatic is fantastic! So very Westinghouse slant-front - but with a pulsator! Hope to see a vid of the pulsator washing. The spin really balanced itself nicely, you can see the load riding the drum outward as it picks up speed. So cool.

Thanks for the pics and video, what a great weekend of washer fun!

Speaking for myself and Rob, we had a great time and it is always great to be able to meet up with people.

Good to meet LavamatJon as well - always good to be able to put names to faces.

Well, I took a few pictures as well! well 700ish....I always go overboard, hoping to catch a record of every great wash-in.
